She began as an adjunct assistant professor, teaching various courses across the business and public administration curricula.

Subsequently, she worked in her own private law and accounting practice, focusing primarily in the areas of real estate, bankruptcy, estates and trusts, and taxation.

She is a recent co-recipient of a Brooklyn Campus Intramural Grant, which supports her current research on the complexity of the U.S. tax system and its impact compliance.
